Dont know much about mosins. I think I know pre-war rifles can't handle high grain 54r. And that production varied the barrel size which would influence accuracy. Looking to get a positive ID on this rifle and a recommended cartridge.

That will handle any current or surplus ammo. The only thing to stay away from is some very high pressure aircraft ammo that you are very unlikely to encounter. You should have it inspected by a competent gunsmith if you have any doubts about it.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

For the sake of being thorough, would you say Red Army Standard 148 grain is well enough for handling and such?

Looking to maybe go hunting a few times with this rifle. Change up the pace a little.

Any commercial ammo you will find will be fine. If you have any concerns about the safety of shooting the rifle, take it to a gun smith for a once over.Erisman9 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 04, 2022 11:24 pmFor the sake of being thorough, would you say Red Army Standard 148 grain is well enough for handling and such?
